What am I looking for?

[flundertaker]

I am not sure what model I should be looking for. Here's what I want and I would appreciate some direction on what it is I need to be looking for.

K frame or J frame
Square butt
.357 mag
<3" barrel (less than 3", not equal to)
Blued
No IL
Adj rear sight

Basically I am looking for a Model 15 but in .357 magnum. Does such a thing exist?

Thanks in advance for any direction.

Except for the square butt you are describing a Model 19.

I have seen pictures of 2.5" square butt 19s but ....I would "guesstimate"...95-99 % of 2.5" 19s will be round butt.

You could always put a set of RB to Square butt conversion grips on the 19

Yep, I have a Model 66 but its 4". As far as I know all the sub 3" model 19 and 66 are round butt.

As for conversion grips, yeah, I thought about that but I really like the slender look and feel (for a CCW) of magnas. I dont think a big honking pair of conversions would look or feel as good , but admitedly I have not tried them.

Cut the barrel on a M66 or M19. Larry

There are plenty of aftermarket grip makers making grips that will more than meet your needs on a RB to SB configuration. Look at Ahrends, OH, there are so many I can't begin to mention them all.

Craig Spegel makes some very nice RB to SB grips, like these on my Nickel 19.
